8:36 A.M Ulrich's Quarters
-Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep-
"Fuck five more minutes please."
-Beep, Beep, Beep, Be-
'CRACK' the remains of a cheap alarm clock scattered all over the small room and another one appeared.
"God damn alarm clock," Ulrich muttered as he slowly got up from his bed stretching to loosen his muscles. He looked at his holographic wristwatch "One message from Jericho, What could he want?"
"Meet me in room 30A I have a mission here for you that I need to brief you on."
"Great," he replied sarcastically "the night I finally decided to go get drunk this has to happen." Ulrich tossed his head around softly to wake himself up. Slumping over his dresser, he pulled out some Tylenol and some leftover liquor from last night and digested two of the blue pills. "Ah much better," He sighed in relief and looked over to his stand and noticed that the new alarm clock was already there. "What the fuck? Oh, I get it, they think they know me don't they huh? … Just because I smash an a-alarm c-clock every day at this time doesn't mean they can't just replace it like they know me or something." The words were barley coherent since the whole sentence was slurred.
'CRACK' the new alarm clock was smashed and its mechanism parts flew across the room in all directions. "Ha! Tha-That'll teach them!"
9:07 A.M Hall
After taking a shower and dressing, Ulrich felt refreshed like a completely new man in fact. Yawning and stretching out his arms a bit he walked down the familiar halls of the C.I.A base he worked in. Walking down the hall and tracing the familiar tiles while reading the door plates as he passed he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace here, even though it was pretty much a combat prep zone. As he leisurely walked through the past door 27B his watch began to beep.
"Hmm, oh, a text from…Odd," He sighed loudly knowing that this wasn't going to turn out well "What does he want from me now."
From:Odd
To:Ulrich
Yooo dudddeeeeee I just woke up fucking smashed in a tree outside and I don't know where I am :0
"Only Odd," He chuckled lightly and began to work his thumbs on the virtual keypad that the watch had built in.
From:Ulrich
To:Odd
Why are you telling me this?
From:Odd
To:Ulrich
Just wondering what happened to my good buddy who wasn't there when I woke up.
From:Ulrich
To:Odd
Well, I called it a night at 11 o clock and I tried to get you but you refused, something about getting laid by a red head really soon, so I got my stuff and left.
From:Odd
To:Ulrich
So you just left your good buddy? How could you! That outta be a crime! Anyways can you come pick me up please there are some dogs underneath the tree growling at me and I'm scared! :
From:Ulrich
To:Odd
Now why would I do that? You gave me a whole rant about being a grown up last night when I tried to convince you to leave when I was getting my stuff
From:Odd
To:Ulrich

From:Ulrich
To:Odd

…Fine, bye.
"Bleep" and the IM window was closed. Laughing at his friends current dilemma he made his way to room 30A and stepped inside. Only to be greeted by Jericho, Jericho was a pretty tall guy, he wore shades a lot, had some muscle but nothing bulging out, had red hair and wore a black business suit with a white undershirt black tie and black slacks, with pointy black church shoes. His hair was straight and went down to the end of his neck.
Ulrichs P.O.V
"Ah, Ulrich, good to see you, Sit down," he nudged his head towards a small white table that blended in with the room perfectly "over there; I have a mission for you." I glanced at him warily for a second then decided to sit down on a chair next to the table; while I waited for him to continue; I traced all the cracks on the surface of the table along keeping count while he did his completely dramatic pause thing. "Anyways down to business shall we?" he threw a badge folder down onto the table its contents slipping out a bit from the folder; I looked at the folder then back at him. "The fuck is this?" I asked. "It's your mission, read it over then go to the docking bay, copter 36A will be waiting there to deploy you." And with that he spun on his heel and pushed open the door disappearing into the wide hallway.
I opened the folder and began to read
MISSON: Prevention of X.A.N.A Forces invading Tokyo
AREA: Tokyo Outskirts
MAIN OBJECTIVE: Destroy all enemy forces
Details: Intel reports that X.A.N.A troops have been seen by spy cams advancing to Tokyo, because Tokyo is one of the last safe places in the world this mission is of the upmost importance. A chopper will drop the assigned troops approximately 300 meters in the air next to the Fuji Iron works Corporation. It is also imperative that Fuji Iron Works Corporation is kept safe, seeing as they are a main provider of our iron along with the fact that they help fund our operations. The commander of this invasion is believed to be-
"W-what… I must have read that wrong that is all, I just need to skim it again. The enemy commander is," The room seemed to be moving, I felt disorientated, I couldn't believe it, how could it be, that's not possible. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. The lights seemed to shift, my balance was crumbling I cannot just…I can't just believe it.
The enemy commander is believed to be Theo Griswold, Former subordinate and partner of class 5 unit Ulrich Stern. He was believed to be K.I.A in the Mission Agess Ascent; however that is not the case. The unit has been gone for a while so even though he held the rank of class 3 he should be treated at a higher standing as a precaution.
"MURRRRRRAH!" The papers scattered all over the room, but I could care less; I couldn't breathe, the nausea was settling in. I involuntarily had to breathe, but it just came out ragged and rough. My hand smashed into the small table snapping it in half, it was like I something broke inside that I was never going to get back.
"Theo is dead, right?" I mean how could he be alive he died in front of my eyes, I remember that, no way could that be Theo, must be a mix up. I went over to the small sink and splashed some water on my face, the cold made me shiver a bit stinging my already damp eyes. I closed the taps and walked out the room. I needed to get my mind off this, the day Theo died. They day my subordinate, no best friend died. (Sorry Odd)
The day Theo died, saving my life.
A/N: Yes I know short, I was hesitant to update, I really want this story to succeed but I don't know, I feel like my writing is terrible and that I'm not fit to write down such a great idea. I need someone to collaborate with me possibly to make this story better, I don't know.
Also school is a pain in the ass so I won't be able to update very often, so yeah. Next chapter will cover Ulrich and Theo's backstory up till the mission hopefully. Next update should hit about 5-6k words, let's hope though. Thanks, chao.
